Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Stayed for the 2 nights, fantastic location for what we had planned, lovely little village restaurant/hotel, the food was very good to and reasonable priced also. The room we stayed in was more than adequate for what we needed and had all the facilities you'd needed, would definitely stay again when we plan our next trip to the lakes.

United KingdomUnfortunately we had a small leak on the 2nd day, above the bed. Whilst they didn't offer another room (likely due to lack of spare rooms) or compensation. The team did address the issue asap and appeared to stop the dripping. But it will need addressing when not so damp.
Warm welcoming staff. Good sized communal and living spaces, breakfast not included in our price but very accommodating to add it in. Good selection of local beers. Nice to have the electric charger.

United KingdomIn need of modernization. I understand the property is very old. However, some modernization would’ve been great. The carpet never fitted the room properly and gripper rod was on show. There were cobwebs in the corners of the room with spiders. There was mildew around the windows and our towels were not changed. We had a 2 night stay and fresh towels and clean tea cups daily should be a minimum.
Very pretty building, good food and friendly staff. Nice bathrooms with decent shower.

United KingdomIt is a tricky route to the Inn. Although the information clearly states that the roads and passes can be challenging. Its best to give yourself time and not be in a rush. The lakes are beautiful and well worth being patient when driving.
It offered everything you could want from a weekend away! Comfortable bed ,spacious room, and bathroom. The TV screen was great to. I booked last minute and was so pleased I did. The staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomVery over priced for what we experienced. I would say this was quite a casual pub which was just what we needed as we were only staying for a hike and we had kids too so we didn't need a fancy hotel. However, the prices reflected something a lot nicer. We paid it regardless as we needed a hotel as close to Scafell as possible and lots were sold out. This includes the food menu in the bar and the packed lunches and breakfast. We had cereal for breakfast, it was lovely of them to leave us milk out so we could grab it early and go but it cost £15 for 2 of us to have a bowl of cereal!! The same went for packed lunches, £15 for 2 of us and it did not include a drink or anything special really just a sandwich made of sliced bread, biscuit and fruit. We had to pay extra for water and crisps on top of the £15. Again , I'd pay that for a nice sandwich in a restaurant and we definitely didn't need anything fancy but price didn't reflect the quality. Our TV signal wasn't great so we didn't get much use from that but we were pretty tired anyway. There was really loud rave music playing through the evening until late one night and then 8am the next morning it was blasting rock music. Good taste- but we had kids to get in bed so it wasn't our kind of stay really. I was under the impression that if we paid a bit more and avoided youth hostels it night be more family friendly.
You had everything you needed, reception was available if you had a question, they made us a packed lunch for our hike the next day, beer garden was good for the kids, staff were accommodating in leaving us some milk in the fridge overnight as we were up earlier than breakfast started for our hike. Lovely that they had some chickens for the kids to look at. Gorgeous surroundings. Fish and chips on the first night was nice.
